Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Post-Silicon System Power and Performance Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will focus on performance optimization and competitive analysis of cutting-edge SoC platforms. You will play a key role in analyzing and resolving performance bottlenecks, optimizing system power and performance, and documenting findings to guide future designs. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work on next-generation devices, where knowledge of Android systems will be a valuable asset.

Key Responsibilities

  • Performance Optimization:
  • Analyze post-silicon power and performance data to identify areas of improvement.
  • Optimize system-level performance for key workloads and applications.
  • Fine-tune hardware and software configurations (eg, DVFS, firmware, drivers).
  • Competitive Analysis:
  • Benchmark SoC platforms against competitive products using industry-standard tools and workloads.
  • Provide data-driven insights and recommendations for product positioning.
  • Performance Bottleneck Analysis:
  • Identify and address system-level performance bottlenecks.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis involving hardware, firmware, and software layers.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve issues.
  • Documentation and Reporting:
  • Maintain detailed documentation of performance analysis, optimization strategies, and results.
  • Communicate findings effectively to internal teams and stakeholders.
  • Post-Silicon Validation:
  • Validate power and performance against pre-silicon predictions.
  • Characterize system behavior across different PVT (Power, Voltage, Temperature) conditions.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Work closely with design, firmware, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of optimizations.
  • Provide feedback to architecture and pre-silicon teams for future SoC improvements.
  • Android System Knowledge

(Preferred)

  • Analyze and optimize SoC performance for Android-based devices.
  • Leverage Android debugging tools to identify and resolve performance issues.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor s or master s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6+ years of experience in post-silicon validation, performance optimization, or a related area.
  • Strong understanding of SoC architecture, power management, and performance analysis.
  • Proficiency in using industry-standard tools for power and performance benchmarking (eg, SPEC, Geekbench, Dhrystone).
  • Experience in debugging system-level performance issues.
  • Familiarity with performance tuning techniques such as DVFS, power gating, and workload optimization

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with Android-based platforms.
  • Proficiency in Android debugging tools (eg, Systrace, Perfetto).
  • Knowledge of scripting languages (eg, Python) for data analysis and automation.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills.
